Thanks boss.

I had Brogdon way early too.

The kid Pritchard from Oregon is a beast as well. While so many other point guards are being hyped, Pritchard is super tough, solid handles, big shot maker, and relentless.

He's a small white guy so I get it. But the dude is my kind of player. Reminds me of TJ McConnell, but more offense than TJ, while TJ is tougher on defense.

I absolutely love the kid.

Also was pushing for Iggy Brazdeikis last year as a second rounder. I still feel like that kid has way upside. Averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and I think a couple steals per.

Not sure why the Knicks don't suck it up and play him, but oh well. He's a kid I'd still love to add.

I appreciate how the Rockets are going FULL SMALL BALL. In interviews with D’Antoni about the 7 seconds or less Suns era he always said he wishes they went faster & shot more threes and fully committed. This time the Rockets are fully committing.

yup big fam of that kid. He's fearless (and ginger - we need a better representation in the league )

and agreed - Mylie seems to continually nail late picks

He wasn't exactly an unknown after the big tournament he had before the draft.

It's just that he was drafted well before the Warriors had a chance.

I had Dante early on though. Way before the tournament. Like the beginning of the college season that year.

The Wolves being fined for resting DLo is a strange one. By resting him, they are committing to trying to win games.

Had Shake Milton as one of the guys slotted for our spot the year we took Evans, ahem

man

Pels with Zion

+108 when he's on the court
-24 when he's off

That's strange because his on/off numbers weren't that great in the preseason.

This is probably my hottest take ever, but I think Zion is gonna become the GOAT. This kind of talent and production at this age is just ludicrous. The only question mark is if his shooting improves and his knees hold up.

On a side note, how crazy is the league today? Zion, Luka & Trae must represent the greatest simultaneous rookie/sophomore class ever, right?

I think Zion is actually underrated. Like, his stats are great, but when you actually watch him play, it's like watching someone play a completely different game. He dominates the game, and every time he touches the ball, you think something great is about to happen. Like, the kid sank 4 threes in his first game just because, and has taken like 3 total since- what's going to happen when chooses to start shooting the 3 consistently? What happens when he has more than like 15 games under his belt? What about when he gets healthy? Him, Ingram, and Ball are an exciting trio to watch, and the pels have so many great complementary parts around them, I think they're going to be an exciting team to watch moving forward.

I think he's going to have a similar impact on the game, and how teams build their rosters the same way Steph did when he really came into his own.

84/85 is pretty incredible

84 - Jordan, Hakeem, Barkley, Stockton
85 - Ewing, Malone, Mullin, Dumars

Absolutely love Lonzo’s game tonight...can’t believe how many Ball haters there are around here..LaMelo is even more talented than Lonzo but realgmers would rather draft guys with potential to be role players

Optimisticwarrior · Post #637 » by **Optimisticwarrior** » Wed Mar 4, 2020 1:58 am

I don't know ... 9 points, 5 asst, 5 TO, and losing to Minnesota.

Can I ask you why you are ignoring the absolute abysmal shooting numbers?

he’s shooting 36% from 3 for the season..I’m wondering why you consider that abysmal..especially when you factor in his massive improvement year to year

Clearly you have a bias against the Ball brothers and Andrew Wiggles ...We both know basketball and we’re both wrong on a regular basis..Just admit Wiggles can D up and that you don’t really know if a 20 or 22 year old LaMelo Ball will be good at it
